when we won, when we had an injunction in place actually for the Biden administration to keep this very important protection in place, they ignored it. We had to go back in front of a judge time and time again to get them to abide by the law. But what we have found out from this administration — and Secretary Mayorkas specifically — is that he is willing, he himself is willing, to subvert the law, to believe that he is above the law, to lie and to commit a felony that this chamber now has said doesn't rise to the level of a high crime and misdemeanor — forever. That is the precedent forever. //

And as the back and forth in that United States v. Texas and Missouri case, from Justice Kavanaugh to the solicitor general of the United States indicated, what is the remedy here? And the Department of Justice's own lawyer said, 'Well, they have the remedy of impeachment.' But I guess we don't actually have that anymore. //

The Senate lost an opportunity to hear evidence to hold someone accountable today. //

This should give the answer to everyone demanding Biden's impeachment... If they wouldn't even hold the trial for Mayorkas there is no way they will hold one for Biden so voting to impeach him just became entirely irrelevant.

At this point they just need to keep the investigation going and keep feeding the information they gain about his corruption into the news cycle all the way through November so he can't get away from it. The political blow with voters is the only thing of any relevance that can come out of an impeachment inquiry now. //

Okay, here is how I see this.
The dems, must have known that if an impeachment trail where to happen, some things even worse was going to come out than what the impeachment was about? Correct me if that is a wrong assumption.
Otherwise, way play this out this way when they know that they are setting a rule that could come back to bit them in ass. How important is Mayorkas?

What am I missing? //

There will be no more impeachments, ever. Chuck U has seen to that. Unless they try and impeach him for treason. If they ask for volunteers to carry out the sentence, there won't be enough ammo in stock to meet the demand.
